did.... did the best friends warp reality to cause metal wolf chaos to come back? what did they sacrifice this time for the world to bend to their whims?
I've run the numbers: When someone in the room calls a sequel "[Something] 2," the probability that someone else in the room will chime in "Electric Boogaloo" is 100% It's a wacky, wacky phenomenon. But my data check out.
'Tamriel is really generic' Only a man like Pat could look at a setting where a bunch of cats take so many drugs they literally fly to the moon, a setting where the sun is actually a tear in space and all that fire is the next dimension, a setting where it's possible to attain a state where you realise you're in God's Dream and it gives you matrix-like powers and say 'man how generic'
So can you point out where any of the stuff you've mentioned has a notable effect in the game instead of being Kirkbride's lore, or is even mentioned outside of limited background material? That's not even mentioning that the last game to touch on the stuff at all came in in 2002, and both Oblivion and Skyrim ARE generic as shit.
CHIM, Moon Sugar (i know you mentioned it but Pat being Pat may not connect the dots), Vivec (City and Elf), Ice Vampires and Sky Whales (tbf those last two weren't put in but they're still in my heart).
I saw him come out and thought, why is the destroy-build-destroy guy coming out here. Than he said his name and I went to, oh its that song from hellsing abridged.
Fallout 76 made me a bit put out after finding out it's online, still interested but eh. Doom: Eternal is mad hype for me. The rest is either an "eh.", a "bleh.", or "hmm." But the _REAL_ star of the show was Andrew W.K's performance for Rage 2. I don't care if it's jank, that's my shit! I *_LIVE_* for this shit!
Admiral Pepper my impression is its a Destiny with base building, farm to your hearts content or hey, send a nuke to your neighbor and turn it to a raid zone, why not, the night's young
I absolutely adored Andrew W.K.’s performance! I love that song and the idea of him being the guy that hosted Destroy Build Destroy on Cartoon Network makes me giggle. Plus, huge props to him and his crew for getting us their on stage and keeping the performance up for a clearly uninterested crowd.
Bethesda did alright. I need to see how much content is actually in Fallout aside from multiplayer shenanigans before I can judge it. I have a hard time understanding why so many people fervently dispise settlement building. That mobile Elder Scrolls didn't look half bad. I think Bethesda's community is WAY too critical of shit. Like, the bugs yes, of course but neither series is some sacred cow that should always be the same.
I actually kinda loved the base building? like yeah, the rpg elements should come first imo, but i just loved making little ramshackle settlements. kinda scared about the full online thing they're doing tho...
Richter The D the problem with the mobile game is its an action game on mobile and theres a more elegent solution to thumbs being thumbs, Legend of Grimrock/Etrian Oddyssy dungeon crawling
It's not just "people", it's the fans of the series mostly, because they were into Fallout it for the lore, the RPG and exploration. They find base building and resource macromanagement tedious because it's just a different personality trait that they don't have. It's a bait and switch, kind of like going to a gaming press conference and getting an hour of Andrew WK.
Gumshon Bethesda was shit about the lore and RPG elements in FO3 (and they've been removing those from TES since IV), I'm not sure why people expect anything different. The game should still have great exploration, at least. You got sbout six minutes of Andrew WK.
That Power Armor guy could be out there because he simply was not allowed in the vault and understands there is nothing to be done at the range he is going to be at when the nukes hit
It kinda boggles me how much people lost their shit over teaser trailers over games that we knew were coming. Starfield was leaked 3 yrs prior due to trademark and of course there was gonna be another elder scrolls. But man not having any hint of in-game footage makes me fear that it won't be finished within 3 yrs. As if they games are still early in development and isn't remotely presentable. But people are rejoicing as if the sudden existence means they can play it sometime in the near future. It also didn't help that Todd attempted to soften the "online only" aspect of Fallout 76 by saying you can still play solo. MMOs can be solo'd but that doesn't mean the game will accommodate for that choice. The Devolver definitely stole the show at the end with that miracle that no one expected and showed something for it.
It wasn't even anything like Cyberpunk 2077. I was disappointed that it was also a project we knew about that had no gameplay, but at the very least Cyberpunk showed what kind of narrative they were going for and the world. Starfield and ES6 just showed an extremely short clip of cinematic landscape. And as Pat said, not even a subtitle. Look at Shadows Die Twice and DMC5 that was legitimately a surprise AND showed some gameplay.
Patricia Luna Same thing for Wolfenstein. It barely showed anything but its supposed to come out soon. I have no hope, I feel like Bethesda comes on stage just to jerk off now to their games releases two or three years ago.
I feel really bad for Andrew WK, on one hand the performance of [Ready to Die] was pretty lackluster, but regardless of that E3 is really not suited to playing for metal punk (or whatever genre you'd describe his musical style as). Playing actual video game music too introduce or accompany trailer like Sony in E3 2016, sure, but while people do come to E3 (and watch E3) come to get hype, not to headbang (there are some exceptions, but contrast Mick Gordon playing Doom 2016 music at TGA, the medleys TGA had in 2017, and all the random bands TGA's had playing). That aside, all of the actual gameplay Bethesda showed was alright, and the announcements all have promise, it's just that aside from Todd Howard (who is a total dad, but has charisma) and Pete Hines (who is competent and boring) the execution was really sloppy.
Drakilian LastName it's a twitch recording, they're trying to respect the people who GAVE them MONEY. how can this be an issue for you, this is youtube. Just skip it.
Scripting is out of the question, so are weapons and armor for balance reasons. So cosmetics at best, if they don't do the "validate game data" thing to prevent cheating.
Andrew W.K is alright, he released a whole album that was an english cover of OG Gundam songs that sounded not-dreadful. That's the limit of my appreciation for Andrew W.K, but anyone who can make an English version of Char ga kuru is an alright guy in my books.
In case anyone didn't realize, the Skyrim Very Special Edition on Amazon Alexa is a real thing that actually works just like in the trailer, only the other 3 versions were actually jokes!
Ok so I knew that Devolver digital was a thing and I was vaguely aware of their thing last year but o had no fucking clue that this is actually how they announce their games! This is fucking amazing EDIT : OH SHIT METAL WOLF OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT FUCK EVERYTHING ELSE
hahaha, dat accidental LastGreyWolf (Austin) plug. That is too perfect. He pretty much has a furry reputation and is part of Northernlions friends crew.
Apparently they teased it pretty hard on Twitter a couple days before the conference, which seems like a poor move to me. "Did you hear about the surprise Metal Wolf Chaos announcement we're doing? I hope you're so surprised when we announce Metal Wolf Chaos." "Surprise, it's Metal Wolf Chaos! Aren't you so surprised by the thing we already told you about?"
Rage was scaled WAY back from its original intended scope. It was totally intended to be a real-ass open world game, just married to id's usual shooting goodness. So, yeah, it is different from what Rage ended up being, but not that far - you're still driving between levels like you did in the first game and shooting up other cars on the way.
falguard i got that part, maybe it was being years back or younger, i just dont remember rage being "comicy" if thats the right word, or it was gritty i guess? it still looks interesting, but trailers also dont show how the game feels so who knows, maybe thats why
I get it, Pat. You have to defend your precious FFXIV from any rival MMOs. But there can be several good MMOs at a time. Y'know, outside of the innate flaws of the genre. And I haven't played much of the game outside of the initial trial phase, but apparently it's been quite good the last couple of years. If there's one takeaway from this press conference it's this: Most online games have a rough start, doesn't mean a dedicated team can't fix it. E.g. ESO, Sea of Thieves, Rainbow Six Siege, For Honor, The Division, some other Ubisoft game I probably forgot.
Never has the phrase "don't let your memes be dreams" ever been more accurate than the Best Friends willing a Metal Wolf remaster into existence.
THE GODDAMN CONFERENCE HAS A LORE CANON
Let's partyyyyyyy!
RICHARDDDDDD!
DAMN IT BEAT ME TO IT! RIICHAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD!
BELIEVE IN YOUR OWN JUSTICE!
what a surprise, nobody gets the lore of Andrew wk.
that's awesome guys what's up I wish I was there
he's also a clone person that represents the illuminati in the music industry.
PARTY PARTY PARTY
I'm also surprised no one clapped for Andrew W.K., host of the 2009 Cartoon Network original reality t.v. show "Destroy, Build, Destroy"
Hey man, I ate that garbage up when it was on CN.
Devolver Digital is saving this conference.
Pat somewhere sometime said metal wolf chaos was dead..... Then this happened.... [CRAZY TALK]
I have the biggest crush on Nina Struthers
"Show us your butt, I want to see the future." Is my new favorite thing ever.
Is that from something?
Ronyn Cato its from paige's mouthhole
Ah, I see.
You guys helped in some small way, bravo Pat, Matt and Liam!
At least we got metal wolf
I want that Devolver lady to step on me.
maybe after the Robocop thing fades
MechAmericaGreatAgain
Dude if we got a president that supported that, all my votes, and all my fucking taxes.
BELIEVE...IN YOUR JUSTICE!
IN YOUR OWN* JUSTICE
1:45:28 I like how Max and Pat immediately knew it was a Dreamcast from a distance.
Goodvillain 101 Liam did too lol
did.... did the best friends warp reality to cause metal wolf chaos to come back? what did they sacrifice this time for the world to bend to their whims?
*wistfully looks at the SBFP channel*
Everything.
Andrew W.K.'s performance was so weird and unexpected that I kind of loved it.
49:59
Kudos for Todd Coward being self aware about all the skyrim rereleases
1:23:40
Finally a sequel to Elder Scrolls 5
what are you looking at paige? ONLY THE SINGLE GREATEST GAME TO NEVER COME TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TILL NOW, ITS TIME TO BRING DEMOCRACY!
DooM is back which means we will get to throw up the devil horns with the kids once again. Kids love the devil...
Man, Andrew set the mood perfectly.
"What is...I don't...meh, okay, I guess."
Perfectly encompassed this.
Follow up...
I love you, Devolver. I love you.
Andrew WK was amazing, such a showman.
tamriels not generic, they just don't utilize the setting properly
They did until Bethesda decided to be a shit with Oblivion and beyond
1:45:00 best part incoming.
seeing pat raise his arms in excitement warms my cockles
Terry R.
You did not lie.
I like how they kept cutting to Matt in the audience.
I was hoping Pat would jump right into last year's Devolver Digital video at the end.
1:32:00 - Elmo moves the camera.
I've run the numbers: When someone in the room calls a sequel "[Something] 2," the probability that someone else in the room will chime in "Electric Boogaloo" is 100%
It's a wacky, wacky phenomenon. But my data check out.
Skyrim 2 Electric Boogaloo was really funny to me. I hadn't heard it in a while so that might be why.
I know it's been two years, but I just want to say that I appreciate your proper grammatical use of "data" as a plural.
'Tamriel is really generic'
Only a man like Pat could look at a setting where a bunch of cats take so many drugs they literally fly to the moon, a setting where the sun is actually a tear in space and all that fire is the next dimension, a setting where it's possible to attain a state where you realise you're in God's Dream and it gives you matrix-like powers and say 'man how generic'
and Crazy Talk made CHIM even harder to explain
So can you point out where any of the stuff you've mentioned has a notable effect in the game instead of being Kirkbride's lore, or is even mentioned outside of limited background material? That's not even mentioning that the last game to touch on the stuff at all came in in 2002, and both Oblivion and Skyrim ARE generic as shit.
Quests in ESO are in there
CHIM, Moon Sugar (i know you mentioned it but Pat being Pat may not connect the dots), Vivec (City and Elf), Ice Vampires and Sky Whales (tbf those last two weren't put in but they're still in my heart).
Guess you'll have to redo the lp.
Isn't andrew W. K From "Destroy, Build, Destroy" From cartoonnetwork?
Yes!
He's not "from" that, but they did hire him to host it.
ImmortalDeathGod
He was a musician first, then like 10 years later became host for a kid's show.
Jesus i had some how managed to completely forget that entire era of CN
I saw him come out and thought, why is the destroy-build-destroy guy coming out here. Than he said his name and I went to, oh its that song from hellsing abridged.
I'm sad, I really wanted a Evil Within 2 dlc.
I'm with you man :(
Didn't the game kinda hinted that there's a side story with what happened to Joseph or something?
Matt and Liam actually did it...they did it..
Tamriel is more fascinating than Azeroth, just harder to depict accurately
Full Metal Wolf Chaos XD playthrough incoming!
Watching them debate what the song on meatspin is gave me life.
Wait til Pat finds out the Skyrim Alexa Edition is actually real
Merc reminds me of the old Wolfenstein second person mode Onion vid.
Fallout 76 made me a bit put out after finding out it's online, still interested but eh. Doom: Eternal is mad hype for me.
The rest is either an "eh.", a "bleh.", or "hmm."
But the _REAL_ star of the show was Andrew W.K's performance for Rage 2. I don't care if it's jank, that's my shit! I *_LIVE_* for this shit!
But you don't have to play it online at all if you want to.
BlueFoxTV
Yeah, I know, my dude. Just a bit bummed but I'm still on board with it, need a bit more gameplay before I can place my verdict on it .
Admiral Pepper my impression is its a Destiny with base building, farm to your hearts content or hey, send a nuke to your neighbor and turn it to a raid zone, why not, the night's young
Actually it seems the game is going to be online only.
So you don't gotta play with friends, but you won't be able to play it offline.
"eh, a bleh, or hmm"
more like
NO!, WHY?, OH GOD JESUS, END MY LIFE NOW!
I absolutely adored Andrew W.K.’s performance! I love that song and the idea of him being the guy that hosted Destroy Build Destroy on Cartoon Network makes me giggle. Plus, huge props to him and his crew for getting us their on stage and keeping the performance up for a clearly uninterested crowd.
Pat being wrong about Meatspin shocks me >_>
i liked the rage 2 song party D:
Bethesda did alright. I need to see how much content is actually in Fallout aside from multiplayer shenanigans before I can judge it.

You got sbout six minutes of Andrew WK.
Yeah I liked Fallout back in the day because it was an RPG, not a base builder.
That Power Armor guy could be out there because he simply was not allowed in the vault and understands there is nothing to be done at the range he is going to be at when the nukes hit
I gotta be honest tho, I can't help but love that song.
It kinda boggles me how much people lost their shit over teaser trailers over games that we knew were coming. Starfield was leaked 3 yrs prior due to trademark and of course there was gonna be another elder scrolls. But man not having any hint of in-game footage makes me fear that it won't be finished within 3 yrs. As if they games are still early in development and isn't remotely presentable.

The Devolver definitely stole the show at the end with that miracle that no one expected and showed something for it.
I am kinda mad at how they can stand and clap when all Bethesda showed is a minute of rendered footage without any gameplay or anything.
It wasn't even anything like Cyberpunk 2077. I was disappointed that it was also a project we knew about that had no gameplay, but at the very least Cyberpunk showed what kind of narrative they were going for and the world. Starfield and ES6 just showed an extremely short clip of cinematic landscape. And as Pat said, not even a subtitle. Look at Shadows Die Twice and DMC5 that was legitimately a surprise AND showed some gameplay.
The fact that Scrolls 6 didn't even give a location name shows how far away it is.
Patricia Luna Same thing for Wolfenstein. It barely showed anything but its supposed to come out soon. I have no hope, I feel like Bethesda comes on stage just to jerk off now to their games releases two or three years ago.
Todd said Starfield was next gen, I'd assume he means next gen consoles, which makes it about 2-3 years until it comes out. TES6 is after that.
I feel really bad for Andrew WK, on one hand the performance of [Ready to Die] was pretty lackluster, but regardless of that E3 is really not suited to playing for metal punk (or whatever genre you'd describe his musical style as). Playing actual video game music too introduce or accompany trailer like Sony in E3 2016, sure, but while people do come to E3 (and watch E3) come to get hype, not to headbang (there are some exceptions, but contrast Mick Gordon playing Doom 2016 music at TGA, the medleys TGA had in 2017, and all the random bands TGA's had playing). That aside, all of the actual gameplay Bethesda showed was alright, and the announcements all have promise, it's just that aside from Todd Howard (who is a total dad, but has charisma) and Pete Hines (who is competent and boring) the execution was really sloppy.
Lackluster? How so? Their performance was solid, it's just the crowd sucked ass/didn't care.
RoachDoggJR It sounded significantly worse than the studio version, at least to me
His voice got better as the song went on but in the beginning he sounded a bit off.
Finally, a video that is actually what it says on the title instead of three hours of donation reading
Drakilian LastName it's a twitch recording, they're trying to respect the people who GAVE them MONEY. how can this be an issue for you, this is youtube. Just skip it.
"Roll the garbage" is pretty good
Always online probably means no mods for new Fallout
Scripting is out of the question, so are weapons and armor for balance reasons. So cosmetics at best, if they don't do the "validate game data" thing to prevent cheating.
Or pre-approved paid mods.
I just realized Elmo just staring at Pat this whole time! and I can’t wait for my preorder copy of METAL F-ING WOLF!
It drove me wild that they just LEFT the stream instead of setting it up before going to the bathroom.
That Andrew W.K. performance was top fucking notch
Andrew W.K is alright, he released a whole album that was an english cover of OG Gundam songs that sounded not-dreadful.
That's the limit of my appreciation for Andrew W.K, but anyone who can make an English version of Char ga kuru is an alright guy in my books.
It's six months later and it's a pleasure to look at all those cowardly lies... Oh Todd...
My friend Pedro looks sick. Like John Wu meets Deadpool.
Andrew WK is too good for this....
That perfomance was incredible.
Yo that persona icon is freakin dope
Some vaults were control vaults, those ones had no experiment.
"You better get ready to die!" Fucking lol!
Magnus is wearing a Grave shirt. Fuck yeah.
When that guy was lit on fire he turned into Jirard from The Completionist
peach should really play metal wolf chaos with pat
FUCKING CRAZY TALK GAVE US A NEW ELDER SCROLLS!!!!
43:00 if your first name was jerk youd NEVER pronounce j's as j's. not once. not ever
Yo, Devolver straight up shouted out the Best Friends LP during an interview between conferences!
link?
m.th-cam.com/video/ywD22amRxdc/w-d-xo.html
They ask what it was that struck them about the game.
Gutted I missed seeing Andrew WK live recently due to my bad health.
The Alexa Skyrim port is real Pat.
"More games like Harvester"
YES! I LOVE YOU PAIGE!
Not only can you place the Camp anywhere but apparently from what I saw you can place anything regardless of angles and surfaces
Character Development: Pat and Paige sleep in the same bed now?
Garfunkel & Oates are still awesome.
I say it again: Devolver is, what Rockstar was.
Wow, that is actually so dead on it hurts.
yeah, I'm thinking of Rockstar when they dared to piss people off and release games like Manhunt.
That Bethesda corporate video looked like it came out of Better Off Ted.
LEEEET'S PARTY!
Patschwitz continues in Fallout 76
Devolver Digital IS this confrence.
Fallout Extreme would have been a globe trotting adventure involving a final battle against a new Chinese Emperor in the Hidden City
"That bitch has never picked up a video game in her life."
This is why Paige needs to be a permanent member of the Best Friends.
Pat waves his hand in an 'ehhh' fashion at Wolfenstein II? Ex-fucking-cuse me?
"this is gonna be a mess"
Boy was Pat right about Fallout 76
Not even crazy talk was strong enough to stop that game from being bad
Lootboxcoin value changes for every person that checks the website
V.A.T.S is still in the Game. There is no Slow Mode, all happen in Realtime
So all we got was Destiny, Doom 2023, Prop Hunt, and 2 logos, great conference
Also Yay for actual support for Quake.
LAST GRAY WOLF RURURURURURURURU
Hahaha, not sure if all of them were the same, but that black family definitely was the same clip from last year in the devolver audience reactions.
Do you guys really not know Andrew WK? Guy's songs are used on the Abridged episodes of Hellsing Ultimate by TeamFourStar?
Devolver was hosting Austin? what
Those two guys that where in beshda e3 showing that where laugh are also in the devolver e3 showing
11:06 when the presentation supposed to be 15 minutes but you've only got 5 minutes of material
In case anyone didn't realize, the Skyrim Very Special Edition on Amazon Alexa is a real thing that actually works just like in the trailer, only the other 3 versions were actually jokes!
Ok so I knew that Devolver digital was a thing and I was vaguely aware of their thing last year but o had no fucking clue that this is actually how they announce their games! This is fucking amazing
EDIT : OH SHIT METAL WOLF OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT FUCK EVERYTHING ELSE
I actually know the girl in the card game commercial. The one with black short hair. Her and her boyfriend are super big gamers.
I was hoping Paige would make the "Fallout 16" joke... Was not disappointed...
Tod just murdered Fallout and tried to sell us the corpse and Paige is over here like “I like Tod”
Pat : Wrong at every turn
The thumbnail is Pat and Paige next to each other
Borderlands, Suicide Squad and Brink, all rolled into one.
Also, Pat is wrong about Meat Spin.
You know what, why isn't there a cryptocurrency just called "loot?" Spelled with numbers on the opposite side of the coin in leet.
hahaha, dat accidental LastGreyWolf (Austin) plug. That is too perfect.
He pretty much has a furry reputation and is part of Northernlions friends crew.
Wait, how did Pat know that Metal Wolf Chaos was coming out?! I wanted to see him get super excited but he already knew! :(
Apparently they teased it pretty hard on Twitter a couple days before the conference, which seems like a poor move to me. "Did you hear about the surprise Metal Wolf Chaos announcement we're doing? I hope you're so surprised when we announce Metal Wolf Chaos." "Surprise, it's Metal Wolf Chaos! Aren't you so surprised by the thing we already told you about?"
Maybe its just not playing rage in a long time, but rage 2 seems like a whole different game
Rage was scaled WAY back from its original intended scope. It was totally intended to be a real-ass open world game, just married to id's usual shooting goodness. So, yeah, it is different from what Rage ended up being, but not that far - you're still driving between levels like you did in the first game and shooting up other cars on the way.
falguard i got that part, maybe it was being years back or younger, i just dont remember rage being "comicy" if thats the right word, or it was gritty i guess? it still looks interesting, but trailers also dont show how the game feels so who knows, maybe thats why
It _was_ gritty, with some light horror early on. Kind of like Doom 3.
Yeah, Rage was more similar to STALKER and Metro instead of edgy Borderlands that barely looks like post-apocalyptic.
I get it, Pat. You have to defend your precious FFXIV from any rival MMOs. But there can be several good MMOs at a time. Y'know, outside of the innate flaws of the genre. And I haven't played much of the game outside of the initial trial phase, but apparently it's been quite good the last couple of years.
If there's one takeaway from this press conference it's this: Most online games have a rough start, doesn't mean a dedicated team can't fix it. E.g. ESO, Sea of Thieves, Rainbow Six Siege, For Honor, The Division, some other Ubisoft game I probably forgot.
